Las Vegas Nightclubs Guide 2026: Clubs, Nights, Dress Codes

Las Vegas nightclubs are big productions: resident DJs and live acts, huge sound and lighting rigs, and a table-service system that can cost more than your hotel room. They are also easy to get wrong if you arrive on a night the club is closed, in the wrong shoes, or without knowing how covers and tables work.

This guide lists the major clubs with the nights and rules they publish on their own websites (checked September 2026), then explains tables, guest lists and dress codes. Every club here is strictly 21+ and asks for a valid physical ID. Line-ups and prices change nightly, so check each club's calendar before you go.

One big change: XS at Wynn is closed for renovation and is due to reopen in November 2026. Wynn's nightlife site still lists XS alongside Encore Beach Club, Encore Beach Club At Night and Wynn Field Club; check it for the reopening date before planning around XS.

The Major Clubs at a Glance

The Clubs

Omnia, Caesars Palace

Omnia's signature is its kinetic chandelier over the main room, and the club spreads across several levels, including a terrace with Strip views and the smaller Heart of OMNIA room. Its FAQ lists opening nights of Tuesday and Thursday to Sunday, from 10:30 p.m. until about 4 a.m., closed Monday and Wednesday. On Thursdays the main room is closed and the terrace and Heart of OMNIA stay open. Sundays feature Deseo, a Latin night. Omnia sells a VIP Bar Card package for faster entry, and the TAO Group's Las Vegas Party Pass covers several of its venues.

Marquee, The Cosmopolitan

TAO Group credits Marquee with bringing the dance-music boom to Las Vegas. It covers 40,000 square feet with seven bars in three rooms: the Main Room, recently rebuilt around a 1.5-ton LED screen and kinetic centerpiece; the Boom Box; and the Library. Marquee's FAQ lists Friday to Sunday from 10:30 p.m., the "Lowkey in the Library" night on Wednesdays, an after-hours Boom Box session from 2 a.m. on Saturdays, and Drenched on Sundays. Its calendar also lists Marquee Mondays programming, so check the night you want.

Hakkasan, MGM Grand

Hakkasan combines a nightclub with the Hakkasan restaurant at MGM Grand. TAO Group lists it as open Wednesday to Saturday, with tickets for each night on its events calendar and VIP reservations for groups.

TAO, The Venetian

TAO is a 10,000-square-foot room with three bars, one dance floor, private sky boxes and a 40-foot terrace over the Strip. It plays hip-hop and Top 40 and opens Thursday to Sunday from 10:30 p.m., with regular nights such as Worship Thursdays and Ritual Sundays. It connects to TAO Asian Bistro, so dinner and club can be one booking.

LIV Las Vegas, Fontainebleau

LIV is at Fontainebleau at the north end of the Strip, alongside the LIV Beach dayclub. Club nights typically start at 10:30 p.m.; its events calendar runs months ahead. LIV requires "upscale fashion attire" and bans swimwear, athletic wear and casual loungewear, as well as oversized bags and backpacks (small purses are fine). There is a coat check.

Zouk, Resorts World

Open since 2021, Zouk is a 2,000-capacity club, which its entertainment director describes as small by Vegas standards but with top-tier production. It has hosted residencies such as ODESZA's and legacy hip-hop acts; its sister venue is the Ayu Dayclub.

Drai's After Hours

When the big clubs wind down, Drai's After Hours opens its doors at 1 a.m., Thursday to Sunday, at 3595 Las Vegas Blvd. South. The 11,000-square-foot room runs themed nights such as R&B Thursdays and an industry night, with bottle service. Call (702) 777-3800 for tables.

Which Night to Go

Nights matter as much as clubs, because each club opens only some nights and the big-name DJs are booked on specific dates.

• Friday and Saturday: almost everything is open and the biggest headliners play, so covers, table minimums and lines are at their highest.
• Thursday and Sunday: fewer clubs open fully (Omnia's main room is closed on Thursdays), but the ones that are open are often easier to get into.
• Early in the week: Omnia opens on Tuesdays, Hakkasan from Wednesday, and Marquee runs its Library night on Wednesday. Many locals and hospitality workers go out then.
• Holiday weekends and big events such as New Year's Eve, EDC week and fight nights bring the highest prices of the year.

Check the specific club's calendar for your date. Prices on a given night depend mostly on who is playing.

Getting In: Tickets, Guest Lists and Lines

Buy a ticket

The simplest option. Most clubs sell general admission tickets for each night on their event calendar, which can be cheaper than paying at the door and tells you the price up front. For a headliner, buying ahead may be the only way in.

Guest lists

Clubs work with promoters who put people on a guest list for reduced or free entry, usually with an arrival deadline. Lists generally favour women and mixed groups; all-male groups rarely get the best deals. A guest list does not override the dress code or guarantee entry if the club is at capacity, and big headliner nights and holidays may have no list at all. Find promoters through the club's own channels or reputable booking apps, and be wary of anyone asking for payment up front outside the club's official booking system.

Priority entry

Some clubs sell packages that skip the general line, such as Omnia's VIP Bar Card, and multi-venue passes such as the TAO Group's Las Vegas Party Pass.

When to arrive

Doors are generally 10:30 p.m. Arriving near opening means shorter lines and a better chance with a guest list; the rooms fill after midnight, when the headliner usually goes on.

Tables and Bottle Service

A table is a reserved area with a minimum spend, usually met by buying bottles at club prices. In return you get guaranteed entry for your group, a place to sit, and a server. Things to know:

• Minimums vary enormously by club, night, table location and who is performing. Ask for the minimum for your exact date and table.
• Tax and service charge are added on top of the minimum. Ask what the total will be before you agree, and get it in writing.
• Group size is capped per table, often with a required mix of men and women; ask before booking.
• Book directly through the club's own reservations page or phone number, or a promoter who works for the venue.
• Split it fairly: with a big enough group, a weeknight table can cost each person about the same as paying cover and buying drinks at the bar. On headliner weekends it rarely does.

Dress Codes

The clubs' own wording is consistent: Omnia and Marquee say "Upscale nightlife attire is strongly encouraged. Sports attire, athleisure / casual loungewear, and swimwear are not permitted", and LIV requires "upscale fashion attire". The door has the final say.

• Men, safe choice: collared or smart shirt, dark jeans without rips or trousers, and leather shoes or clean fashion sneakers where allowed. No jerseys, athletic shorts, sweatpants, flip-flops or caps.
• Women: dresses, skirts or smart trousers with a nice top. Comfortable heels or dressy flats; you will stand for hours.
• Bags: small is best. LIV bans oversized bags and backpacks.
• ID: bring a valid physical ID; photos of IDs are not accepted. International visitors should bring a passport.

Staying Safe and Spending Sensibly

• Set a budget before you go out and leave cards you don't need in the room safe.
• Check the bill before signing, including service charges already added.
• Eat first and drink water. Clubs are hot and crowded, and desert air dehydrates fast.
• Watch your drink and stay with your group.
• Plan the ride home. Rideshare pickup areas at big resorts are busy at closing time; allow extra time.

Beyond the Mega-Clubs

Not everyone wants a 3 a.m. dance floor. Cocktail bars, rooftop lounges, live-music venues and dayclubs give you the Vegas night out with less effort and money. See our guides to bars, cocktail bars, rooftop bars, live music, LGBTQ+ nightlife and pool parties.
